I was only wondering, is there a mileage extent upon a lemon law? we have a 97 stratus we paid for about 2 months ago as well as it only held glow upon a 5th of this month. It has only underneath 148,000 miles. we listened to validate for a lemon law a car had to be underneath 100,000 miles. Any insite for me? Thank you!
I live in VA as well as have checked a couple of websites for my state as well as internal area. There IS a lemon law upon used cars, NOT only for brand new cars. we only cannot find anything about a mileage thing.

The lemon laws vary by state – check yours:

Did you receive a warranty when you purchased the used car? Did you purchase it from a dealer?

eek, I thought most dealers allow 30 or 90 days for used cars.

Let people know which state you’re in (and if different, the state where you bought the car too), because I think the lemon laws may be different from state to state.

lemon law is for new cars and it has to be the same problem. sounts like you bought a p.o.s. and you are looking for a way out…. selling it is your only option. and for god sake its a stratus with 148 on it..

There are no lemon laws for used cars — only new cars. Used cars are sold "as-is" with no warranty or guarantees. The expense of resolving this unfortunate problem is all yours, I’m sorry to say.

No such thing as a lemon law on used vehicles…

I am sure that there is not a lemon law on used cars.Especially 10 yr. old used car with 148000 miles on it..

Lemon Law applies only to newly purchased vehicles, your vehicle is ten years old and won’t be covered under this law. It’s a law that is rarely used, the car must have the same problem over and over again, where repairs have been attempted several times to fix the same recurring problem. Overtime, and under very certain circumstances, the car is considered a lemon, and the customer gets entitlement to a buy back. You also don’t qualify because you purchased the car used, not new, as required by law. It’s unfortunate about your car, car fires aren’t real common and normally the cause can be prevented. You don’t say what happened, but it is strange, I think anyway.
